Is there a big difference between these 2XU running socks and the 2 XU recovery socks?

The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.

the running sock is VERY hard putting on and taking off. but love the sock, very great on the legs. i leave them on all day. but, really i would wear the socks when walking, running and every day wear. p s too heavy for hot months

i think for both it depends on ur size, its a good product i've been using mine for a year no runs so far and the compression seems still good on my calf.

Hi Steve C.Long story short... I wear 10 1/2 EE Mizuno Wave Alchemy and 11 EE Asics GT 2100 series, as well as Gel Nimbus... but when I buy these particular Wigwam socks, I buy the extra large size, because I have foot problems and tight socks just don't work for me. Pinched nerves and bad circulation are not fun. The extra large size fits me perfectly after the first washing... and are only slightly loose before that first laundry trip. Good luck

Not sure exactly what the question is, but ive been using these for a year during CrossFit WODs, and they have kept the same great level of compression since day 1. Awesome socks.

Not that I could find. I have been happy with Dr. Schols (sp?) light compression socks from Walmart. they are cheaper, too.

Theyre ripstock but not like the old BDUs. A lot thinner for warmer climates. The 5.11 versions of these are most definitely not ripstock. Im pretty happy with Tru-SPec more than 5.11.

What my comment covered was the "crew" sock which is a lighter weight than the other's purchased from the mfg., and were to lessen leg and foot pain due to numerous injuries etc., and because the gauge was thinner than the other's purchased earlier not as well constructed where stitching seemed weak and potentially to wear out sooner.

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

These are thicker than Jobst, but still is a compression sock that really isn't for the purpose of keeping your feet warm.. Why not put heavy sock over?

This is only a personal observation. My feet sweat less in these than in a cotton sock.

Yes, they are completely different because they are tailored to your particular feet and posture. You should go in to one of the many stores that have a pressure sensor (Bed, Bath and Beyod for instance) and check what works best for you. I've had these for over a year now and they really make a huge difference. I use them in my work shoes.

I wear these for running, because I used to get pressure blisters between my toes and injinji socks help. I find that wearing more than one pair of socks (regardless of thickness) causes too much friction. Not sure whether to get this or thicker pair - I have both kinds and don't notice much of a difference between them.

sometimes online you can luck out with 2 or 3 pairs in a package. however asics is pricey but exceptional quality. for fashionistas they demand socks match their shoes. i honestly don't care myself but i can say these are long lasting and holds its elasticity as well. certainly NOT worth it for 1 pair - just keep shopping!

HelloMy son wears these socks when he plays football. They have slight padding for protection at the heel. They are snug and supportive and offer mild compression, especially at the arch. Hope this helps.

Yep. I got these for running, so the interior socks were soaked in sweat. So even though my feet did not get wet from the snow, they were wet from sweat and just as cold because the air and ground was cold. If you are not working out too hard, interior socks might add warmth. These socks are not warm like wool, just water proof. :)

They come as a pair. I use mine while doing leg lifts on my exercize machine. They only have one velcro strap in the middle and if used while running they will slide down. They might work behind your socks.

I purchased the gray "XXL adult" pillow paws Terries Slip Resistant Socks. They are 16.5" long when they are new. I tried other brands, but this brand fit my feet the best, and they are Double Imprinted, which means that you can wear them with the slip-resistant marks on the top or the bottom of the foot; because they are "tube" socks, there is no heel. They seem to last longer than other brands which have the slip-resistant marks only on one side of the tube sock. They come in different sizes which are color-coded: Toddler (yellow); Youth (Lt. blue); Adult (Teal); XL Adult (Tan); XL Adult (Red), and XXL Adult (Gray). I recommend them.
